“There is still a significant portion of the industry on the broker side that’s resistant to real estate teams,” says Chris Pollinger of Berman and Pollinger. “They don’t know how to make teams work in their brokerage model; they’ve seen bad things happen with teams because they just don’t have a paradigm to place them into the brokerage space.”

So what should a broker’s attitude be about teams — and how do you incorporate them into your business in a way that makes sense? Pollinger will be on a panel of experts to talk about the team-broker relationship at Inman Connect San Francisco, July 17 through 20 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.

“One of the things we’ll be talking about is why brokers should embrace teams — and also how they can embrace teams in a way that works with their financial modeling, their culture, their paradigm of the brokerage space.”

Working with a team can be a win-win situation for brokers, after all: Team leaders are managing a ton of leads (and business), and they want to grow. Brokers want to hire new talent and keep recruiting costs and turnover at a minimum. If they can both figure out how to help each other and work together, Pollinger believes, it can lead to beautiful (and lucrative) results.

“No matter how much brokers are recruiting, they want to recruit more,” he notes. “Teams are a natural solution, or part of the solution to that problem.That’s something that for a broker to understand — a team is going to help recruit, pull numbers, create more market share.”

Vacation rental company Vacasa buys Sterling Resorts

Vacation rental management tech startup Vacasa isn’t slowing down its ambitions to conquer the market: this week, it announced that it has purchased Sterling Resorts, a vacation management company on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Sterling has changed hands before: it was bought by Pacifica Companies in 2015 and currently manages 450 homes. Now it will become a part of Vacasa’s effort to expand its presence in vacation destinations such as northern Florida, where Sterling is based. At the time of this latest purchase, Sterling’s home inventory was down from 585 properties in 2015. Vacasa has raised more than $200 million since its launch ten years ago. Founder Eric Breon said he was motivated to start the company after struggling to find a satisfactory management solution for a cabin belonging to his wife’s family on the Washington coast. Now Vacasa seeks to provide rental property owners with “a seamless experience…through innovative technology and local staff,” that give them

In An Era Of WeWork, Co-Working Space NeueHouse Sits Above The Fray

NeueHouse CEO Josh Wyatt Seuss Moments In today’s cluttered co-working landscape, it can be hard for companies to makes themselves heard over the din. Elevated co-working space NeueHouse wants to create an unparalleled experience for creatives through elevated programming and outstanding design. NeueHouse describes itself as “ a private cultural and collaborative space for prominent creatives, artists and entrepreneurs,” with current locations in Los Angeles and New York.

Forbes interviewed Wyatt to talk about creativity, design, the gun threat incident at NeueHouse New York, and why he isn't phased by his "800 p

CLARY/AFP/Getty Images) Getty A 2014 bill that aims to impose an additional tax on part-time New York residents—dubbed the “pied-a-terre tax”—has risen from the dead, largely in thanks to the recent record-breaking Central Park penthouse purchase by billionaire Ken Griffin. Griffin, worth an estimated $11.7 billion and No. 45 on the Forbes 400 , reportedly bought the $238 million-dollar apartment “as a place to stay when he’s in town,” according to his representatives. The purchase drew widespread attention to the financial losses that part-time and foreign property owners can cause the city. Bec
